The Magpies face the Garibaldi in the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Nottingham Forest will square off against Newcastle United FC in the second round of the Carabao Cup 2024-25 at the City Ground in Nottingham. This match is set to be a captivating and thrilling encounter, as both teams are eager to outshine their opponents and secure progression to the next stage of the competition.

Nottingham Forest began their Premier League campaign with a 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth. Despite taking the lead, they had to settle for a single point after Semenyo’s equalizer for Bournemouth. In their most recent fixture, they secured their first win of the season with a 78th-minute goal from Gibbs-White in a match against Southampton. As they prepare to face Newcastle United FC, Nottingham Forest will be aiming to capitalize on their home advantage and transform the City Ground into a fortress, seeking to overcome a formidable opponent and advance further in the Carabao Cup.

Newcastle United FC enjoyed a remarkable 2022-23 season, finishing fourth in the Premier League and securing a spot in the UEFA Champions League by surpassing giants such as Liverpool, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and Chelsea. However, their Champions League campaign fell short, with a disappointing group stage exit, and they ultimately finished seventh in the Premier League, missing out on the top four.

This season, Newcastle United FC entered with high hopes and ambitions. They began the current campaign with a victory over Southampton despite being reduced to ten men but were held to a draw by AFC Bournemouth in their most recent match.

Struggling to find their optimal form, Newcastle will be eager to regain their rhythm and demonstrate resilience. The upcoming clash against Nottingham Forest will serve as a crucial test of their ability to handle pressure and challenges as they aim to bounce back and prepare for their next Premier League fixture against Tottenham Hotspur.
